and how can YOU participate in handing down to our children a consciousness that all life on Earth is ONE?

and from that consciousness, flows RESPECT…..and a shift in our BEHAVIOR.

So above you see the exquisite work of artist, Melissa Glendinning in creating the “Mother Coyote” for our puppet show, “Coyote and the Boy, Ben” Through her efforts and the efforts of our talented musicians, this magical puppet show is connecting with our children all over Maine…and I would add…adults as well. So use your talents, and be a voice for the wild ones.

One warm, full-moon, summer night about 3 a.m., my black dog Raven awakened me with a “whuff”. She was staring intently out the bedroom window, and I arose quietly and looked out, too. On the lawn down below, as pale as the moonlight and as still as a rock, stood Coyote staring back up at us. I could just make out a small rodent held in her mouth — the whole scene was bleached and ghostly except for Coyote’s shadow frozen there. A little breeze came up and moved the white curtains beside Raven and me. Coyote, seeing the curtains sway, instantly vanished, as if by magic. One moment she was there; in the next second, without my seeing her move, she had disappeared! It was like a dream; but it was not a dream.

THE BEST COYOTE HABITAT RESIDES IN THE HUMAN HEART ~ YOU HAVE TO LEAVE A LITTLE SPACE FOR THEM TO LIVE ……HOW MUCH OF THAT SPACE RESIDES IN THE CREVICES OF YOUR HUMANITY?

The following are the words artist Linda Murray wrote regarding this art piece create by her ~

“Coyote spirit speaks of how coyote is connected to her ancestors, and the Universal wisdom that comes from this spiritual connection. I imagine that when coyote is howling at the moon she is speaking with her ancestors and asking for the wisdom that is crucial to her survival. Her ancestors listen and give guidance. They say, do not be troubled, you are not alone, we are one.”
